can someone please help me im new and don't want to F this up. i need a daily planner of things i should do can someone help?
thanks for the tips olly. im worried about my fish's behavior tho. since yesterday they have stopped eating and currently reside in the corners of the tank. i have 2 green chromis and a yellow tail blue damsel. the damsel likes to hide in his cave but acting normal and will come out if he sees food go by. but im worried about the chromis they wont eat and seems they have lost there color. any ideas as to what i could do to help them? all the parameters are perfect i test it myself and also have LFS check and they say its perfectEvery day you should check the fish and make sure their behaviour is normal. Also you should check the temperature of the water, the SG of the water and make sure all equipment is working. Also you obviously have to feed the fish (twice a day should suffice for most, however anthias need feeding about 3 or 4 small meals a day). You should also turn the lights on and off in the morning and at night (unless you have an automatic control / timer for them). Finally, if your tank's water evaporates quickly you will probably have to top it up (with FRESH RO water (not salted!). Hopefully this has helped and have fun in the hobby ;)
Oh and welcome to living reefs.
they seem fine none of them seem to be aggressive. they school together quite funny to watchYou have too many fish in a tank that size. Watch your fish closely for aggression signs.
Hahahahahaa. Reef central will beat u up, this is the most relaxed site. You asked a question and got an answer. If you cant handle that, you shouldnt be on the internet. Hopefully I see you over there... use the same name for my ease..how would you guys know anyway ya havent seen pics and havent asked what size they are. im under the recommended limit . . . lets all hate on the new guy. . . didnt know so many rookies could be experts. movin to reef central.
To be honest, I have to many fish too. I think the over acting rolling on the floor and saying 'fine I'm going to my room and never coming out' is why everyone is giving you some shit.not sure if lube was present, seemed pretty dry to me. kinda cut me up a bit. i joined this site because i thought it was relaxed and people could help me. you guys should have smply just asked me more questions before telling me what im doing is wrong i am new and clearly dont know what i am doing. i build my tank by what other people tell me and what i was doing was perfectly fine to other people. if anyone has helpful tips it would be much appreciated once again sorry for acting childish just frustrated when i do what people say and others say im doing it wrong. p.s. a lil extra lube next time please
